Last week my sister and I visited the Riviere Qui Barre Cemetery. It was my first visit there in many years. We walked up and down the rows of gravestones reading them aloud and remembering who people were and where they had lived in and around the community.

I was very surprised to come across the stone you see above. I had been told that our great-grandmother, Rose Allen Cust, had been buried on the Alexander Reserve.

I don’t know who put the gravestone there nor when it was put in place. It is clearly quite old.

If you know anything about the gravestone, please add your information through a comment.
